Roberto wants to stay at home - help fund four months of care
Help Roberto stay in his own home with four months of part-time care.
🇲🇽 Mexico1,722 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 85. After a fall and hip fracture Roberto can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Roberto desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Roberto worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,850 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $1,450
• Medication and prescriptions: $230
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $75
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $95
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
